Does the current metasploit officially support ruby 2.1 ?

The init script calls dpkg-reconfigure to run the postinst but the
postinst also runs the init script which results in a loop. The loop is stopped with some check of in init script but while this worked
OK is SystemV, systemd is not so happy and when "invoke-rc.d start
metasploit" is executed while already running under the supervision of
systemd, systemd fails with a message explaining that it cancels the job.
The init script has been updated to worked with systemd too.
Version is 4.11.1-2015031701-1kalidev0
